Resources for Victims
Additional Support for Vulnerable Populations
How can you help or recover if you are the victim of an identity crime?
Foster youth are more susceptible to identity crimes because they often do not have access to their identity documents. Trafficking survivors are often asked to surrender any identity documentation they have or are asked to obtain new forms of identity documents that are then controlled by their trafficker. Victims of intimate partner abuse often do not manage or maintain their identity documentation as they are controlled by their abuser.
